Trading question: Stars on the block but getting nothing in return

rink23 · 10-30-2019, 03:46 AM

My 2024 St. Louis River Walkers are in the midst of a horrible season.
We're in July, so I put a couple of my top players, highly-paid yet underperforming for the most part, on the trading block.
I am getting offers. But for 3.5 to 4.5 five-star players I am getting offered low level minor league players with no future.
I think my trade setting are hard or maybe very hard with an emphasis on prospects.
Any chance I may get some offers?

you said you were getting offers...

if you are asking if you are going to get better offers, probably not. Go make offers yourself.

The AI usually won't trade for highly paid players, especially if they're underperforming. You might have a little more luck shopping those players around to see what teams are interested, then crafting some deals through the trade screen. You'll probably have to include some money in the trade to get a player of value in return.

Try adjusting team needs to see if that will help with the offers.

I have to agree with the AI in these cases. I really try to avoid highly paid, under-performing players when I trade as well!
